Six months ago, Zhang Peiwei, a herdsman from northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region took home two cubs which he thought to be wild cats. As the cats changed far beyond his expectation as they grew older, he began to wonder what they really were, and with the help of experts, he is now sure that the two big cats are snow leopards, a very rare wild animal in China. Now, still waiting for a proper solution from the authorities in terms of resettling the rare cats, Mr. Zhang can hardly afford to feed them and urgently needs help.
